Abstract

This research report shows the results of survey regarding Building Information Modelling (BIM) and E-procurement system in Malaysia. The construction industry is constantly evolving throughout the decade. The objective of this research is to identify the adoption, barrier of implementation and strategy of implementation of BIM and E-procurement system in Malaysia construction industry. 100 respondents’ response were analysed and the data are discuss and tabulated. The results show that majority of the respondents are aware of BIM and E-procurement system and their advantage and barriers of implementation in Malaysia. The respondent response towards BIM is more positive due to its clear advantages, while many still have doubt about the E-procurement. However, both BIM and E-procurement were being agreed as being the future of construction industry in Malaysia if given proper strategies of implementation. It can be concluded that both BIM and E-procurement is still in early phase of implementation in Malaysia construction industry. However, once implemented, the advantages and benefits of these software will bring the industry to a whole new level.
